Application filed February 25,1907. Serial No. 369,232.

To all whom tt may concern: l'

,'Be it known that I; WALTER C. Sonrmrnnnfa citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the countyof Wayne and Stateiof Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Carbureters, of which the following is a-specifi`cation- The object of my invention is to provide-an improved carbureter, the same being especially designed lfor em- ,ployment in connection with internal combustion engines, and it consists of the construction, 4combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying draw ings, in which,

Figure 1 is a view in side elevation. Fig. 2 isa view.

` In the drawings a represents any suitable case or body forming a carbureting chamber b provided with a dis- Acharge pipe c, the discharge being controlled by a 25 neled as indicated at g and communicating with a feed channel h into which a feed pipe i leads from any suitable source of supply. The base of the case a, to this end, may be formed with a cross arm j, the lower end -of the case being open to receive an air supply. About the upper end of the hub e I locate a rotatable'fan indicated at k, the fan being mounted upon the hub by intervening ball bearings of any suitable construction indicated at l. Above the ball bearing I locate a deficcting cone m. A valve n seats upon the valve seat j' provided with an operating lever p, the valve stem preferably having a threaded engagement in the cap4 q of the case as indicated at r.

"In operation when the valve n is open the fuel supply feeds through the chanrelaoverllowing upon the l cone m and thereby being distributed upon the rotatable fan k, the fan being rotated by the suction lin the carbureting` chamber whereby, it will be-obvious, the

effectually spray or Avaporizethe liquid hydrocarbon. 'The vaporized hydrocarbon mixed with air. is discharged tothe engine. It will vreadily be seen that when the engine is running at high speed, thesuction will be greater than when running at low speed', so that the feed supply passing through the carbureter will be at which 'the' engine is ruiming. The throttle 'valve d may be actuated in any suitable manner but asvshown -lugs indicated ats,- `s between .which the throttle lever 'p extends so'th'atthe same lever will operate both of the valves named-simultaneously. The valve n may be Vregulated as desired by means .of' the threaded y,en-

gagemeniJ of lits stem with ,the cap g and then, it will b e observed that by means of the throttle lever the discharge opening and the opening of the valve n will be proportional the one to the other. v yWhat I claim as my invention' is: p 1. A carbureter comprising a carbureting chamber, a channeled hub within saidV chamber, a feed inlet passage 4opening leading into the channel of the hub, avmanually operated valve to control said channel, and a rotatable fan supported upon said hub below the valve.

2. A carbureter, comprising a cai-bursting chamber provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, a channeled huh within the said chambencommunicating with the feed inlet and forming a valve seat at the upper end thereof, al manually operated valve to seat upon said' valve seat. and a rotatable fan supported upon said hub below the valve seat, substantially as described. I

3. A carbureter, comprising a carbureting chambery a feed inlet passage opening into said chamber, a channeled hub within said chamber, a valve to control the channel of the hub, a rotatable fan supported upon the hub below said valve, and a deflecting cone above the fan.

feed inlet passage opening into said chamber, a discharge passage leading therefrom,4 a channeled hub within said chamber, a valve to control the channel of-the hub, a. rotatable fan supported upon the hub below said valve, la valve to control the outlet passage, and a lever to slmultaneously actuate both of said valves.

,In testimony whereof I aillx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
